1 My invention 'relatesto a newr andy user"ul anti-moth-cake and it relates more particu-` larly to ananti-moth cake which may be suspended in a clothes closet to permeate the 5 `clothes with moth killing imes.

Iiimaking lanti-moth cakes, it is customary to melt' the initially solid compound and to mold the same into a cake torni by pouring the melted compound into a form or mold. It,A

is further customary to employ molds or forms of an artistic design, such as, a jarshaped configuration, or the like and general ly speaking, regardless of the form ormold used, When the molten compound is poured into the mold there is a tendency for shrinkf age kat the outer or pouring end of the mold which results in an uneven broken edge which is out on' when the cake or mold thus formed is trimmed. Due to the coloring and deodorizingsubstaiices usually` added to such comf pounds, it vis frequently impractical or impossible to remelt and repour the vuneven shrunken edge trimmed o the molds formed,

sothat suoli trimmings usually represent complete Waste.

In addition to this phase of the problem,

it is oitende'sirable to pour `the cake intona ormor mold kand partiallyV to `enclose ythe resultant form in some sort of a coverl or casing which `serves to add to the attraction of the productVK and to carry an tising material.

It' isv also desirable to' provid-e means for of cakes which gives such waste products, it

yequally applicable to and greatly improves the appearance of original finishedr articles and renders the same more salable.

In the accompanying `drawings in which:

' Fig. Qjrepresents asectioii on line 2` 2lof f Fig.` 3 represents diagrammatic `View `55 Fig-AI- represents lview similarto Figj 2 showing another form of my invention; f'

Referringto the drawings in Which like, l Vreference characters indicate like parts, and 60. referring Yiirst to Fig. 3,1 have shown a mold or form lhavinga substantially jar shaped core b'oX'12 yinto which a molt-en compound 3 is poured from the openings 4. Y In practice Y. .c

I positionv a card board 5 Within the core box 65 2, the function of this card board being to form a central bod-yor support orfthe jar shaped cake 'and'to carry any `desired advertising sothat When the cake has evapo- .n rated or has-otherwise been used up, the purchaser can, by readingtlie'matter on the card board 5k, reorder'from the manufacturer. In making a jar 'shaped cake 6 it is necessary to trim the cake along the line 8-8fto give litV a unitorinstraight edge which in the inished 75 product forms vthe bottom ofthe jar shapedv cake. That portion of the mold above the line' S-S 'which I"designate jas l0 has an 'u'pperf or shrunken edge l1 and has up till the present time constituted complete Wastes, since. dueto thev coloring and the deodorizing substances added `to the compound 3,"it "is impossibleV to reinelt and repour they Waste 'portion 10.1? vInactualpracticethe Waste plor- Y 'tion l0 amountedv to aboutoof the iinished 85 product 6 and hence represented cons'iderableY` Waste.` LVIii order to utilize thisivaste, IjeXtend i* thejcard `board rmember-5 upvvardly'lto proximately'the topof the mold instead 'of stopping'the card/ board'fatthe line 8-8. 90,

,-Wlien 'the' cake Gis trimmed along tliefli'ne S-Sth'e cardboard extension lthen forms a support fort-he Waste upper portion 10. Likewise before pouring the molten substance n 3 into tliefcore box 2 I position ribbon or "95 other :supporting Vmember 13 the tree ends of Whichextend anyfdesired distance, to lbe embedded into the lmolten 'substance SWhen the `lattervis Vpoured intov the mold 1,:so-.that t when' the `n'fiolten substance 3 hardens the rib- 100 bon or other support 13 is firmly embedded. In order to cover the ragged unattractive up er edge 11 of the Waste portion 10 Iprovi e the cover 14.- Which is of any suitable size 5 and which carries any desired advertising 15. Through the top of the cover 14 is formed a hole 16 through which the ribbon 13 is adapt-- ed to extend so that in the finished form the upper waste portion with its ragged edge 10. 11 covered by the cover 14 is suspended from the ribbon or its equivalent 13. While my invention is primarily devised to enable me to use What would otherwise be complete and considerable Waste, it is to bev 15 understood that my invention is equally applicable to the production of properly formed or molded products -as illustrated in Fig. 4 wherein I show a square cut or molded cake or form 17, havingr an inner card board support 1,8, a ribbon 19 havingr its free ends embedded therein and a cover 20 slidable upon the ribbon 1'9.

While in the foregoing description I have referred to an antimoth cake, soap cake or s similar product which is formed or molded bypouring the molten material into a mold, ,Y it is to be understood that my invention is. equally applicable toproducts thus formed by means of pressing an unmelted material,

i 3 It is further to be understood that the supporting means may be a ribbon as shown or any other equivalent device, and that the card board in the center of the cake may be of any desired form or may be entirely dispensed with. Since the primary object of the invention is to mold a cake in which a support is embedded and which support is adapted to `engage a detachable cover which, in the event that the mold consists of a waste trimming,

n serves to render'such salvaged waste preentable and salable as any original or finished product. l

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters 5 Patent, is:

1. In a device of the characterr stated a molded body portion, a central support therein, aA hanger element having an end thereof embedded in said body portion and a cover for u 'said body portion through which said hanger member projects. e

l 2. In a device off'the character stated, va, volatile, shaped, product, a flexible element doubled upon itself and having its ends ims bedded in said product, and a cover adapted to enclose the upper portion of said product, said flexible element being threaded through an opening in the top of said cover.

3. In a device of the character stated, a molded body portion, a hanger element having yan end thereof engaging said body portion, and a cover for said body portion through which said hanger element projects. s In testimony whereof I aiiX my signature.
